The new multi-organ chip has the size of a glass microscope slide and allows the culture of up to four human engineered tissues, whose location…
After episodes of sleep deprivation, eye problems such as dryness and itching are common. Long-term sleep deprivation can increased the risk for eye disease. Sleep…
Cell nucleus illustration. University of California Riverside-led study identifies how blood stem cells maintain their fate. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that specify and maintain the…
MIT biology professor Yukiko Yamashita has spent much of her career exploring how asymmetrical cell divisions occur. This type of cell division allows cells to…
Human blood stem cells emerging from specialized endothelial cells in the wall of an embryonic aorta. UCLA scientists’ confirmation of this process clarifies a longstanding…
Findings could lead to targeted approach for treating aging. Research from the Babraham Institute has developed a method to ‘time jump’ human skin cells by…
